Jacksonville, FL Giraffe

Well, I like the nose, mouth and eye. - that's about all. This was done with pastel pencils on Hahnemuhle's velour pastel paper. The tooth is good, but almost too draggy. I overworked the piece.
If you ever find yourself in Jacksonville, Florida - a trip to their new zoo is worth the time. You can see the entire zoo in a few hours. All the animals appear to be healthy and happy. They have a giraffe bridge that is wonderful! If you've never hugged a giraffe's head before you don't know what you're missing. :-)
